Fire doesn't discriminate, it just burns with reckless abandon. There have been mass evacuations throughout the region, and at least 31 confirmed deaths as of Friday morning. Firefighters and other emergency personnel have been doing everything they can in an attempt to corral the blazes, but resources are stretched thin as it is.
